What would it feel like to quit your job? To walk in, give your notice with confidence, and then strut on out of there for the last time and into a new life filled with clients who appreciate you, money that keeps on flowing, and a life of impact that allows you to live your bliss each and every day?

Sounds pretty amazing, right?

You heard me right.

Even if you’re brand new, even if you don’t have a single client yet, getting to the point of being able to quit your 9-5 THIS YEAR is 100% possible.

And we’re going to dive into how in this episode. Hit play and enjoy! :)

Happy Valentine’s Day!! If ever there was a group of people who get me, it is all of you, and I wish I could send you a big box of your favorite chocolates, a bunch of your favorite flowers, and a big ol’ hug to say THANK YOU for being my entrepreneurial soulmate. <3

While I still dream of that for the future (retreat one day perhaps?) for now, I thought we could celebrate together, TSBTJ style, with a podcast all about the unexpected loves of entrepreneurship.

You won’t find the normal things like “more freedom” “more income” “making my own money” etc on here. Nope, this is a new take on the subject and I think you’re going to love it.

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you spoil yourself today. <3

“I can’t charge that!”

“I don’t have any experience.”

“Who is going to pay ME that, I haven’t even had any clients!”

I hear this all the time with new entrepreneurs and honestly, it’s something I used to do myself. I felt SO insecure in my skills and felt like I had no experience, and so I’d charge crazy low prices and burn myself out working IN my business (and not on my business) and not finding clients. It got to the point I started to feel like maybe I wasn’t cut out for this entrepreneurship thing.

Can you relate?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how you can sell a high-ticket offer, even as a brand new entrepreneur. Because look, you have come this far, and if what you want is to change lives, including your own, then we have got to fix your business model so that you can do that. We’re talking about:

-Where to find high-ticket clients

-How to talk about your high ticket offer

-How to sell your offer (in a way that feels GOOD)

and more :)

I have bad news—it’s not enough to just want something.

I know, it’s a real bummer, but the truth is, I see so many aspiring entrepreneurs telling me how much they want their business to work, how they want more clients, want more money, want to have great impact, but when I ask them what they’re doing now they have a vague, ambiguous answer. And when I ask what they’ll do differently to make sure the results are different, the answer is usually, “I don’t know.” And that…is not the foundation of a successful business.

In this episode, I go over the three things I see aspiring entrepreneurs doing that keep them stuck (and how to overcome it so you can start seeing the results you want NOW.)

No more excuses, no more staying comfortable. Let’s make this happen. <3

Sometimes it feels like, despite your best efforts,  the world is against you and that even though you are putting in soooo much work, you’re not getting anywhere. And so, the negativity sets in. Despite your best efforts to stay positive, you fall into the habit of thinking that maybe you just aren’t cut out for this. Maybe entrepreneurship isn’t for you. Maybe you should just go back to your 9-5.

And I do not want that for you.

And I know you don’t either.

So first, let’s recognize this for what it is. This is fear and frustration plain and simple. It sucks to feel like you’re burning yourself out all in the name of nothing. But we can fix this. Because as much as it feels SO difficult in the moment, there are a few simple tweaks that will help you begin to overcome it, and begin to shift what’s not working into what is. But we’ve got to start somewhere.

Hit play on today’s episode and know that if you’re struggling, you are not alone. I myself went through this (more than once, heck….more times than I can count) and in fact, every entrepreneur does. It’s normal—and there’s nothing wrong with you. It just means you’re human. <3

P.s. let me leave you with one of my favorite quotes that I reference in this episode, from Glennon Doyle’s ‘Untamed’

This life is mine alone. So I have stopped asking people for directions to places they've never been

Listen, no one freezes up more when it comes to words like “funnels” and “ads” than me. There is a reason I hire out when it comes to my ads—it feels instantly confusing and overwhelming, but the truth is, funnels and ads ARE an important part of your business and you DO need them to grow and scale.

But the thing is, Kieva Chris-Amusan makes it seem so easy and so simple.

And the truth is, at its core, funnels are just relationship building. And that’s not so scary, is it? In fact, it’s kind of nice.

Also, there is ONE tip in here that was a total game-changer for me and I think you’re going to love it too. Don’t worry, you’ll know exactly when we get to it because I just LIGHT UP and literally say that it’s a gamechanger—so pay attention! :)

Hit play and enjoy.

When I started my business I felt SO overwhelmed with the idea of niching down. It felt like one wrong move and the whole business was going to come tumbling down. I agonized for months if not YEARS about what niche I should specialize in. Was it specific enough, or was it TOO specific, and was I really an expert in it to begin with?

It kept me feeling stuck for way too long and today, almost a decade later,  I see so many aspiring entrepreneurs falling into this same pitfall of not taking action and staying stuck, all because they can’t decide on a niche.

Today, we put an end to that. Because the truth is, niching down—it’s relatively simple. And by the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly what yours is, and how to move forward.

The Thriving Entrepreneur Accelerator is a six-month coaching container that helps you start or scale your business to 5-figure months.

We do this through weekly group calls, daily Facebook community support, and a course element that allows you to do everything from niche down to close clients.

Not only are you able to ask questions on the weekly group calls and get individualized support, but you’re also able to post questions daily in the Facebook group, so you’re always supported, every step of the way.

Plus, you’re able to submit your work for feedback. Say you’re having trouble closing a sale. You just can’t get clients no matter how hard you try. You’ll be able to submit the conversations you’re having with potential clients for feedback, and get direct advice on how to make sure that you are closing at a higher rate.

It’s very high touch, lots of support, and of course, filled with a community of women doing the same thing you are. So you are always supported, every step of the way in getting to those 5-figure months and quitting your 9-5.

Happy 2021 and welcome to a whole new season of The Story Behind the Journey!

Who is ready to CRUSH this year? I mean seriously, after the 2020 we had, I know you are not looking to repeat the year’s worst habits, BUT I also know you laid some pretty powerful foundations that are going to serve you in 2021—IF you have a plan.

So, for the first episode of the year it seemed only fitting to talk about how to plan for the 2021 you’re envisioning. Because it’s one thing to say you want something, it’s another to have an actual roadmap to those goals. That’s what this episode is all about.

A few episodes back we talked about goal setting, so if you missed that, go ahead and take a listen to those episodes but know that this one is totally different. It is not your average goal setting guide. Because I’m not just talking about my goals I’m talking about the year I want to create and HOW I’m doing it—and how you can too.

As with all  the new episodes, there’s a small challenge at the end of this episode to help you create the 2021 of your dreams. Let me know what you came up with by tagging me over on IG—@Angela_Mastro
